Do you have a criminal case?
Are you accused of drug trafficking? Are you awaiting pending
state or federal drug prosecution?
 Are you charged with any Drug offense? If you are, we can
help. We investigate cases for the defense.
Investigation is the key to every criminal case. We at Narcotics
Investigators for the Defense have the  unique skills and
techniques necessary to prepare every client to deal effectively
with all federal or state narcotics prosecutions.
Most investigators need specialized knowledge and skills
that relate to the type of work their agency performs. For
example, IRS investigators are specialists in accounting
practices and tax law, while criminal investigators for the
Environmental Protection Agency specialize in environmental
law and practices. Narcotics Investigators and Defense Investigators
are well versed in investigating federal and state drug offenses
for the defense.
 We can find most wanted criminals that the FBI has had difficulty
locating, and use them to help us prepare your case. Narcotics
Investigators for the Defense piece together the who, what,
where, and why of each case we handle. We collect, examine,
and interpret evidence on cases of every imaginable type
and scope.
The government has their investigators investigating a range
of cases that involve alleged violations of federal law.
These are the criminal investigators who work as FBI agents,
US Marshall deputies, IRS special agents, DEA agents, and
postal inspectors,  among others. They examine financial records
to solve cases of white-collar crime, monitor court-ordered
wiretaps of people suspected of breaking federal law, interview
witnesses in cases of drug trafficking, and do undercover
work.
The government has their investigators, and you need yours.
Just as these federal investigators do, we, at Narcotics
Investigators for the Defense do everything from checking
airplanes to investigating the immigration status of non-citizens
living in the United States. However, our investigators often
uncover the criminal background of cooperating government
witnesses, and show that they have ulterior motives for testifying.
When Narcotics Investigators for the Defense does a thorough
investigation of government witnesses, we often help juries
and judges to determine that the "story" each witness
tells on the stand is less than credible and told in exchange
for some kind of favor  from the government.
Although the type of work our investigators do can differ
markedly, investigators no matter where they work have much
in common. We at Narcotics Investigators for the Defense
possess the strong research skills, drive and analytical
ability to fit together the pieces of a puzzling case. We
use hard hitting teams of investigators that have an extensive
working knowledge of human behavior and the criminal justice
system. We bring the case home when we are called to testify
in Court.
The services and skills of an investigator from Narcotics
Investigators for the Defense are multifaceted and include:
- Conducting interviews and searches
- Examining records and other evidence
- Verifying information to ensure accuracy
- Writing complicated reports on findings
- Testifying in court
- Collecting, evaluating, and analyzing information
- Dealing with hostile witnesses
- Using good judgment in crisis
- Working in a constantly changing environment
- Making decisions on the basis of personal judgment and
experience
- Working with minimal supervision
- Working with a complex body of knowledge
- Communicating clearly
